Grace
Good to know.
You’re not mad at me?
Me
I’m a little disappointed, but no, I'm not mad. But don't do something like that again, Gertie.
Grace
I won't, Hayes.
Me
I miss you. Be good to your mama, okay? Give her an extra-tight hug from me. Give one to Claire too.
Me
What are you wearing?
Annabelle
This is where I feel like I should lie and tell you I'm wearingsomething sexy…
Me
But you're not going to do that, are you?
Annabelle
I mean, I could, but honesty is paramount in a relationship.
The truth is that I’m wearing an old plaid flannel nightgown that my grandma gave me for Christmas over a decade ago. I have a pink hydrating mask on my face and foam rollers in my hair.
There was a reason why I didn't answer your FaceTime call.
Me
Well, that took a turn. No need to jack off now.
Annabelle
LOL. Sorry, not sorry.
The bubbles hop and hop before they disappear. Then, they start hopping again. I grin, wondering what she's texting.
Do you ever think of me when you jack off?
My grin grows. I love my naughty girl.
Me
Every damn time.
I'd ask if you think of me when you masturbate, but I already know that answer since I walked in on you after we filmed the music video.
